John Barrett is a Director at the Centre for Sustainability Accounting and is also a Professor of Sustainability Research at the University of Leeds. He joined the Sustainability Research Institute (SRI) at Leeds in February 2011. Currently, John is lead author for the IPCC 5th Assessment for Working Group III.

John was one of the lead advisors to Defra in relation to the development of PAS2050, and was commissioned by Defra to lead on understanding the carbon footprint of trade. John has appeared regularly on Radio 4 news and discussion programmes and written numerous policy reports on SCP issues, for a wide range of audiences.

Key areas of his research have included the use of global trade models to understand the embedded carbon emissions in goods and services, and estimating the upstream carbon emissions from emerging energy technologies. These have been used by numerous UK government departments to understand consumer emissions, as well as the carbon emissions embedded in products.
